It looks good. Some quick observations: - Help tooltips: It would be nice if you could provide more online explanation for every option/functionality in the form of tooltips or such. - Internationalization: As you are eying for white-labeling your site, it will help if the interface was easily translatable to non-English languages. - SSL: In Firefox, going to https://zferral.com/ gives a security warning, indicating…

SSL is working again. Thanks for the feedback! https://zferral.com

Great! Would it be possible to invite other people from within the interface? I have some non-techie friends who might be interested in the site, but I don't want to scare them off by giving them the "hackernews" invite code :)

This is great, really easy to get into. Have you considered doing a demo video as an alternative to the "how it works" page? (like from beginning to affiliate success), and maybe suggestions/tips for users thinking about signing up?

Yeah, I am in the process of doing one -- just waiting to add the "non-monetary" campaigns into the mix.

Once we push that to production (tomorrow) I plan on creating one.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback.

I like the design! Large, bright, positive. One change could be to have both right & left scrolling center image/text instead of just left. My mouse need to move a long way from the right sidebar, cause the page is quite long.

You could offer some form of help/guide much like how dropbox/zumedrive help new users on how to get started. It's a bit confusion with so many options.. Where do I begin.

Just wondering how is it better/simpler than DFP Small Business?
